Acer 'Kumo Moi Nishiki'
Introduce Asian flair and rugged durability to your landscape with the Acer 'Kumo Moi Nishiki', a variegated Korean Maple celebrated for its exceptional cold hardiness. This tree features long, slender leaves with delicate creamy variegation contrasting beautifully against maroon stems. As seasons change, the speckled green, cream, and white foliage transforms into rich tones of orange and red in the autumn. It thrives as a perfect specimen plant, reaching a mature height of 8 to 12 feet and a spread of 4 to 6 feet. Easily grown in moist, organically rich, well-drained soils, this maple prefers partial shade but also performs well in bright, sun-dappled locations.
